It s a very nice area, I ve lived near there for a while. Some stats about Garden City:Estimated median house or condo value in 2007: $953,399Estimated median household income in 2007: $129,850 (more than double the state average)Also, the Garden City Hotel is one of the nicest hotels in Long Island. My friend got married there and it was gorgeous.
It is a great area as described by others. I will add the convenience of the place. Plenty of shopping right there along Franklin ave, but two miles from the biggest shopping are in a 100 mile radius.The area is expensive, though.And it is very safe.
Garden City, NY is an upper class area in Nassau County. Expensive homes, great schools and very safe area.
